Ellison owns his own America’s Cup racing team

He’s helped bring the next America’s Cup race to San Francisco and his team will sail a 72-foot-long, carbon-fiber catamaran that cost $8 million.

He’s won the cup before. His previous 90-foot sailboat was the first American syndicate to win the Americas cup since 1992.

Here’s his old flagship yacht, the Rising Sun

Besides a race team, Ellison used to own the Rising Sun, currently the eighth largest yacht in the world. It was the fourth largest yacht when it was built.

Ellison reportedly spent more than $200 million to build Rising Sun, a 452-foot-long, five story tall yacht. It has jacuzzi bathrooms, a gym, a spa and salon, a wine cellar, a private cinema and a basketball court on the main deck that doubles as a helicopter pad.
